Position: Religion Editor
My job is to coordinate religion news coverage with our bureaus around the world. Based in Paris, I also run our FaithWorld blog and report mostly about Christianity and Islam in Europe. I'm also interested in related moral issues such as bioethics. Before launching this post in 2003, I was a correspondent, bureau chief and editor in Europe and Asia over 25 years and wrote the book "Unchained Eagle: Germany after the Wall" (2000). The Council of European Churches named me their Religion Writer of the Year in 2006.
